| Annotation | For many carers, the world simply shrinks, as their time is consumed in providing and co-ordinating care, taking the person being cared for to medical appointments, and liaising with care workers. Carers can feel invisible, and it can be lonely bearing much of the caring responsibility of caring for a loved one. These research findings and quotations are drawn from Carers UK's State of Caring 2017 Survey of 7,286 carers and former carers. It looks at what carers say makes them feel lonely or socially isolated, and what would make them feel less lonely, such as starting a conversation with other others. This report forms part of Carers UK's work with the Jo Cox Loneliness Commission (website: jocoxloneliness.org). (RH). |
